    MacBook Pro M3 Pro has small screen dent - fix now with AppleCare+ or sell as-is later?

    Hi everyone, I’m in a bit of a dilemma. I bought my MacBook Pro M3 Pro (18GB RAM / 1TB SSD) for around $2,099 last July. Less than a year in, the screen has a small dent - about the size of a needle tip. I brought it to the Apple Store and was told it’s not covered under the limited warranty...

    Resolved Charging is paused because overheated battery-SOLVED

    Hi Guys Is it normal that charging is paused due to an overheated battery in my 2015 15" MacBook Pro? The battery was replaced with an OEM (but non-Apple) battery from SMP. Has anyone experienced this issue with the original Apple battery as well?

    Lag when switching spaces with ProMotion

    I noticed something that is slower on my 2021 M1 Max MBP than my 2013 MBP: switching spaces. Whether it's by 3/4 finger swipe or ctrl+arrow key, it takes about 2 seconds after initiating the switch for the new app to become "active" and let you scroll, start typing, etc. The first second is...

    Any way to set Safari at 90% zoom? instead of either 75/85/100%

    Most sites are fine at either 85% or 100% but some would really benefit from a 90% or 95% zoom so I'm not sure why that's not an option, it's so simple.

    Spreading Hand Lotion On Touchpad

    Recently, my MacBook Air M1 touchpad started to feel sticky, and my fingers hardly move on it. I found a solution by spreading some Nivea hand lotion on it, though I may have applied a little to the edges as well. Could this cause any damage to my laptop? Thank you.
